MY PARENTS ARE GONNA KILL ME.
hey. i have a problem. OKay, so I always use my dad's $400 ish camera when im with my friends and when I go to the mall just to take random pictures. its 2 years old and is a Nikon.
2 days ago I was at the mall with my friend and i dropped all my stuff. I didn't notice that my camera had dropped, so i just went home. Today I was wondering where it was and I realized I had DROPPED IT. and my friend even saw it but she thought it wasn;t mine.
So basically I LOST my dads camera. and if i tell my parents, they will get so mad at me for it, since it contained a lot of my dads business pictures that he needed. My mom will definately start yelling at me of how irresponsible I am. My dad probably will get mad at me too just not as much as my mom.
I feel really bad. I have about 73000 in YEN(japanese currency), which is about $670 ish. and i have $50 in dollars. I dont care about paying them and getting them a new camera at all. I'm just mad at how stupid I am, and how irrespondible my parents are going to think i am.
my parents don't know yet. and soon they will start asking me for the camera. I seriously don't know what I should say. I dont wanna say i lost it.really.
How should i exchange my money (besides airport).
I don't know...I just feel really bad.

Like everyone said you need to talk to them about it, hopefully before they ask you about it. But first I think you ought to go back to the mall and check in the lost and found up by the service/information desk.
I lost my purse at the mall and it contained my birth control, luckily one of the cleaning ladies had turned it in for me. So you should ALWAYS check just in case. =)

I agree that you should own up and take responsibility for the loss. However, just a quick thought, have you checked that it hasn't been handed in by some law-abiding citizen? I know it's a long shot but worth trying first.

I don't think I could have said it any better than rollergirl66. :] Go to them first, it shows you're willing to take responsibility. If you wait until they ask you for it then they will just assume you were intending to hide what happen from them and they'll just be more angry. Replacing it, although a good idea, may not work anyway. For one your dads pictures will not be on it and your dad may even realise it's not his own camera (especially if he's had it a while). Don't feel so bad about what happen either. Honestly, it happens to all of us (I've lost so many things including about 4 cell phones) so honestly, it does happen. Try not to be too hard on yourself about it but let your parents know but don't wait for them to bring it up first. Good luck. :]

Don't wait until they ask about it - tell them first. It shows more responsibility and they're probably less likely to be angry, than say if they need it right away when they ask. Just say "Dad, I'm really sorry but I borrowed your camera and I accidentally lost it. I'm sorry and I'll pay for a replacement if you like, I've got the money for it and everything". Hopefully he's already put the business pictures he needs on his computer? Just make sure they know it was an accident and you're willing to take responsibility for it by replacing it. And in the future, buy your own camera so you don't have to worry about losing theirs again!!
